Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: The Crowd Can’t Tell Me How to Fight

[rey guey]

Crawford won the fight, he did what he was supposed to do. Klimov has some boxing skills and those fights happen.

Kellerman just ruined the fight for me. he's terrible. degrading the entire division and Klimov for protecting himself. Klimov was totally outclass that was obvious and everybody knew he wasn't a threat coming into the fight.
Kellerman doesn't want an over classed guy to use his boxing skills to defend himself?

about him saying 135 isn't talented? Miguel Vazquez is a really good boxer but too boring for Kellerman and Lampley. Gamboa is still a name at 135 and that'd be a good fight for Crawford. Richard Abril not good enough?

Lampley and Kellerman's love fest of brawls is really killing the network with boxing fans. Roy Jones is the only voice of sanity.


honestly I wish HBO would dump Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman. at this point I'm missing Bob Papa because he's a hell of a lot better than both of those clowns.

Roy Jones, Bob Papa and someone like Antonio Traver would be 100000 times better than those a55-clowns

Okay, so why didn't Mayweather KO everybody he fought from '30-'40?

Those he was SUPPOSED to Ko he did. Thats all this fight was made for. For Crawford to go out there show out. He didn't. I'm not saying he's bad, but you made this Mayweather/Pernell comparison. He definitely didn't show that this go round

[Warrios]

he has a point. klimov, aka the russian marquez, is known to punish guys that open up.

crawford's a good fighter and he fought a decent fight. Klimov is partly to blame, but he was outmatched and didn't want to get hurt and really he wasn't the one expected to shine by top rank, hbo, and everybody watching. Against that kind of caliber opponent you're supposed to do what Broner did to perez and rees or at least try a little harder. But i say enough top rank, put him in there with beltran and let him shine before hbo changes their mind.

Yeah dont worry about the crowd dummy. They just pay your bills.

[Goldie]

No, I'm saying he should have constantly moved in and thrown combinations, because the one time a round he did he had success. I've seen Crawford beat up on guys and I know he can do it. I don't understand why he was so content to not even try and beat up on Klimov.

And of course now you're going to claim I didn't watch it and just want to hate. Next you're going to say I'm doing so because he's black.

Oh, you're one of these reverse racism clowns huh?

Look, it takes two to fight. You're complaining that the fight was boring while blaming the fighter that actually pushed the fight forcing the action, instead of the guy who wasn't doing anything but trying to survive. Kilmov got paid too. He was paid to go in there and try to win but he didn't live up to his end of the bargain. If you're going to blame anyone it should be him, not the guy actually trying. I don't know what your agenda is but your reasoning is nonsensical.

I had high expectations. Simple as that. I've seen Crawford look impressive and I think he should have looked more impressive last night. If expecting a talented fighter to live up to his talent is an agenda, than absolutely I have one. Klimov had no business in the ring with Crawford, and I wish Crawford had made that clear with an exclamation rather than a content period.

hey dummy. they don't pay his bills. his signed contract pays his bills.if the fans don't show up. its hbo's pockets that take the hit. dummy

[sicko]

Yep! It also takes two fighters to put on a good fight, his opponent did absolutely nothing during the fight, he did not get aggressive until late in the 12th Round

Crawford did nothing wrong he just fights on a network and had a incompetent pompous announcer in Lampley who want every fighter to fight like Gatti and Ward

Also the event started very late in Florida I think fans was just ready to see Cotto so they could go

bojangle is a bigoted, quadruple-reverse racist.

I hate his guts, too.

Andre Ward has never left Oakland. What a f*ggot. That fight in his backyard of Atlantic City, California, right down the street from his house, was the worst of all.
